In a paradigm breaking study, Dr. Pavan Reddy, director of the Dan L Duncan Comprehensive Cancer Center at Baylor College of Medicine (BCM) and his team, in collaboration with Drs. Arul Chinnaiyan, S P Hicks Endowed Professor of Pathology, and Marcin Cieslik, assistant professor of pathology, both from University of Michigan Rogel Cancer Center, discovered … Read more
A Japanese study of more than 7,400 patients has identified a genetic mismatch that sharply increases the risk of severe acute graft-versus-host disease (GVHD) following umbilical cord blood transplantation. The specific donor–recipient human leukocyte antigen mismatch triples the likelihood of life-threatening immune complications, and severe acute GVHD itself is associated with significantly worse survival. These … Read more
Summary: Researchers have identified a powerful neural pathway that triggers the rapid loss of all body fat—including “stubborn” stores—without any reduction in food intake. Inspired by “stable adipocytes” found in bone marrow, which typically resist diet and exercise, the team discovered that delivering the hormone leptin directly to the brain unlocks these cells. This signal … Read more
After nearly 40 years of research on how Listeria bacteria manipulate our cells and battle our immune system to cause listeriosis, Daniel Portnoy and his colleagues have discovered a way to turn the bacteria into a potent booster of the immune system – and a potential weapon against cancer. Three years ago, Portnoy cofounded a … Read more
Lung cancer patients who have never smoked make up a significant and growing share of global lung cancer cases, yet remain an understudied group, according to a new review written by UCL (University College London) researchers. In 2020, lung cancer in never-smokers (LCINS) was the fifth most common cause of cancer death worldwide (the most … Read more
Results from a new clinical trial suggest that a high-fiber plant-based diet could benefit patients at risk for developing multiple myeloma, the second most common type of blood cancer. The study showed that the diet was not only feasible and well-received but also improved several factors that could potentially delay the progression of precancerous conditions … Read more
A recent study identifies Neural EGFL-like 2 (NELL2), a secreted protein, as a key regulator of bone homeostasis, offering potential therapeutic applications for osteoporosis. NELL2 promotes osteoblast differentiation and inhibits adipocyte formation in bone marrow stromal cells, addressing the bone remodeling imbalance in osteoporosis. The study further uncovers the molecular mechanism of NELL2’s action, revealing … Read more
Fanconi anemia is an aggressive, life-threatening disorder. Most individuals living with this rare genetic condition, characterized by bone marrow failure and cancer predisposition, survive into adulthood only with bone marrow transplantation and regular cancer screening. But a new study demonstrates that mutations in one particular gene in the Fanconi anemia pathway result in an even … Read more
«Cuando te diagnostican una leucemia, como fue mi caso, estás muy perdida; por un lado te invade esa parte pesimista y por otro la de que vas a… The post Bone Marrow Transplant Galicia | Leading Clinician appeared first on NewsyList. Source link
A new study has unveiled when chronic myeloid leukemia, a type of cancer that affects the blood and bone marrow, arises in life and how fast it grows. Researchers reveal explosive growth rates of cancerous cells years before diagnosis and variation in these rates of growth between patients. Such rapid growth rates had previously not … Read more
